It has not been a day or two since Tuoba Tao wanted to divide the field, in fact, since the time of the first emperor, there have been several requests for Juntian in the court. It's just that the population was too small before, and the fertile land was still uncultivated, let alone barren land.

In addition, if the state allocates land, it is bound to compete with the clans for population, and a large number of shady households will leave their homes because of the state's division of land, so the backlash of the powerful clans must be extremely terrible.

Any reform of the country is often associated with bloodshed, sacrifice, struggle, and conspiracy, and the result may be good, but most of the pioneers who proposed reform have no good end, Tuoba Tao is not only a warlike Xianbei monarch, but also a qualified emperor who has been taught by Han culture since childhood, and naturally knows that this kind of thing cannot be rushed.

So he's been waiting.

Now that Rouran and Hu Xia, who pose the greatest threat to Wei, have been destroyed, Western Qin will soon be classified as Wei, he has an heir, and the harem will soon usher in the biggest 'marriage', as the so-called situation between China and Korea is very stable.

The defeat of Rouran made him capture millions of people and cattle and sheep, and the Xia State sat on a large area of fertile land in Henan, which was the granary of Guanzhong, and now it is all owned by the state, which can be said to be the right time, place and people.

Tuoba Tao knew that he could not move the interests of either the Xianbei nobles or the nobles of the scholar clan, so he was ready to start with the strongest Pingcheng and the recovered Xia Kingdom, which he controlled, and slowly implement it little by little.

Needless to say, Pingcheng does not allow big clans to occupy land, and all the land near Pingcheng is state-owned, at most it is just some forbidden fields enclosed by the royal family, and if he wants to divide the fields, even the ministers of the court and the central government will not stop them.

The Xia State has been destroyed, the new gate lords and forces have not been produced, and the old clans and Xiongnu people cannot be recognized by the original forces of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it is most appropriate to implement the "Juntian" system.

In addition, there are many miscellaneous tribes in the Xia Kingdom, and the miscellaneous beards can also make a living by grazing cattle and sheep outside the Guan, but they do not produce in the Guan, they can only become slaves and coolies, and their lives are extremely hard.

In the past, the ethnic antagonism of the Xia State was even more powerful than that of the Wei State, not only Lu Shuihu, but also the Qiang people, the Di people, the Ding Ling people and other miscellaneous Hu people all lived in the Wei realm, often roaring in the mountains and forests, robbing homes and houses, and some joined the army to make a living.

After the Wei State conquered the Xia State, how to deal with these Hu people also became a big problem. Killing is definitely not killable, but if you are a slave, the summer realm is unstable. According to the rules of the Hu people in the grassland in the past, these people can be driven by "death camps" when they are defeated, and charge forward as barriers and cannon fodder when fighting, but now that Rouran is all destroyed, there is no big battle to fight, and raising so much cannon fodder is a waste of national strength.

If the fields are not planted, they will be barren, and if the high-quality fields are not planted, they will become middle fields in two years, and middle fields will become lower fields in three years, and there will be almost no planting.

Nowadays, the population is small, fertilizer is scarce, and the land often needs to be fallow to feed the fertility, otherwise the land will become drier and drier, heavier and poorer, and in the end nothing will be grown. Therefore, the land needs to be cultivated in turns, and it should not be idle for too long, otherwise the fallow will not rest the land well, but will leave the wasteland.

This qiē requires a large population, a large number of people, the original population of the Central Plains is not enough, and the suzerains in various places have covered too many people to evade taxes, which has made Tuoba Tao to a point where there is no land and no one can use it, but now the captured population of the Rouranju clan can just be used to cultivate the land in the original territory of Pingcheng and Xia Kingdom, as long as they have reclaimed enough land, it is not impossible to give them freedom.

The Hu people are more physically good than the Han people, but they don't produce and don't know how to farm. But if you can't survive, giving them land, giving them seeds, and teaching them how to farm will naturally be safer and safer than robbing their homes.

In this way, as long as it takes a few years, it will become logical to retire from Hu to become farmers, and Hu people like Lu Shuihu who have begun to gather clans and have a sense of territory will not be willing to take risks to go to various countries to become mercenaries and make a living by killing people and goods.

What Tuoba Tao thought was very deliberate, coupled with the fact that the conditions were ripe, and the tragic experience of the Lu Shuihu people in front of him as an example, made him move the idea of implementing this policy.

If the land reform is not carried out, the people will only be taxed and forced by the army all the year round, and the national treasury will be obtained by war plunder, and if he loses a battle, the whole country will fall into a state of no return.

It's just that most of the "Juntian" politics are moved by the interests of the local "suzerain" and the Han people, and the Xianbei nobles own pastures, and the politics of giving land have little impact on them.

But Tuoba Tao has endured the Wubi masters everywhere for a long time, not to mention anything else, the Wubi of the Yuan family in Chen County already has tangible evidence that he has colluded with Liu Song, and he has long wanted to clean up the Yuan family.

These Wubi lords "supervised" the local people, making the government's population statistics inaccurate and inaccurate, and they reported a household, often containing 50 or even more, and the taxes of the Northern Wei Dynasty were calculated by "households", and the Wubi lords had to swallow up countless wealth in a year, resulting in too much local clan power, and in the long run, it was not conducive to the rule of the Wei State.

If the implementation of "Juntian" was resisted by the local suzerains, Tuoba Tao wanted to take this opportunity to beat the help of the Xianbei nobles to clear the Wubi in one fell swoop, so that the shade households would return to their hometowns, and the three chiefs would be used to collect taxes and transfer conscription.

The old Xianbei clan has long been in conflict with the local clans, and Tuoba Tao will definitely respond when he gives the order to attack, and there is no need to even allocate grain and grass to the central government.

If the implementation is good, it can be said that it kills several birds with one stone, if the implementation is not good, it will just waste some time, and if it is stricter, I am afraid that there may be a few □□ in the local area.

With a heavy army in his hands, Tuoba Tao, who has reached the peak of prestige in the army, is not afraid of any □□ at all.

Tuoba Tao took advantage of the drunkenness to confide in He Mullan the "division of the field" that had been held in his heart for a long time, and the first thing He Mullan thought of was not how to divide it, how to divide it, and who to distribute it to, but Shang Ying, Wang Anshi, and countless politicians who had fallen on the "law change".

Even so, when He Mullan looked at the king beside him, who seemed to be drunken and spoke falsely, he only calmly asked:

"Your Majesty said that you want to divide the field, is there a place where Mulan needs to serve?"

The word "divide the field", no matter who Tuoba Tao said to him, even the most loyal to his Su Hejun, or the minister Cui Hao, whom he regarded as his most dependent, was afraid that he would be shocked and inexplicable, and even admonished.

Because they all know very well how this change will bring changes to the Great Wei, and these nobles have already carved the phrase "it is better to be still than to be still" into their bones, and they dare not shake the barriers of power that have gradually balanced.

And Tuoba Tao was not really drunk, he tested Mulan's reaction while looking forward to her response.

Tuoba Tao was not disappointed, and Mulan's reaction at the moment was a response that gave him a shot in the arm.

As Tuoba Tao expected, if the common people or Xianbei military households did not resist this policy, it would be easy for him to implement it from the bottom up.

He didn't know that the reason why He Mulan was so calm was not because the "division of the field" did not involve her interests, on the contrary, if Tuoba Tao needed her to write or seconded the proposal to become a part of the reformers, then she would also be duty-bound.

From the time of Taiping Zhenjun to the present, she has seen how the people under the Wu Bi lived humiliatingly dependent on the clan, the suffering of the Lu Shuihu people and other miscellaneous people, the people who became monks in order to avoid taxes and forced labor, and the local exploitation could not make a living and had to degenerate into thieves......

She had seen so much suffering that she was unwilling to stand idly by even if she knew what the change might bring.

Tuoba Tao had gradually straightened up.

He had always felt that he was a very miserable, very unlucky king.

When he ascended the throne, he was surrounded by enemies, and his father's bones were not yet cold, and he was caught off guard by the Rouran. finally accepted the harem, but he couldn't give birth to a son; When he adopted his brother's child, his son came out again, almost making his brother turn against each other and make trouble to the point of cannibalism.

The natural star he finally looked forward to was young and promising, enough to expand his territory for decades, and in the blink of an eye, he became a woman. But this woman still made him respect from the bottom of his heart, and was even willing to hide his identity and plan his future for her, just so that she could go a little smoother and stay side by side for a longer time.

But now, Tuoba Tao thinks that even if there are so many tribulations and so many unsatisfactory things, God has given such a person, and he may give more like-minded people in the future, even if he has been tortured and disappointed before, it is worth it.

Looking at He Mullan, who had a resolute expression, Tuoba Tao smiled.

"What do you need to do ......"

He looked at the guards who were gradually gathering behind him, and said in a firm tone: "If you want the Great Wei treasury to be abundant, it is useless to just persuade the farmers to teach them, and the fundamental problem has not been solved. The matter of Juntian, starting from me, to my sons, grandsons, great-grandchildren, and great-great-great-grandchildren, unless the problem of food shortage and population shortage in the Great Wei is solved, it must be carried out as the law of my Great Wei. Because it is so important, I cannot allow any minister to suffer misfortune after my death because of this, and the guide is ...... Juntian failed."

He has also read history books, and of course he knows what the outcome of Shang Ying's reform is.

"I want to raise this matter in the court myself, and I don't need any minister to discuss it for me."

The guards had already vaguely heard the word "Juntian", and they immediately stopped in surprise, but they didn't dare to step forward again.

Tuoba Tao glanced at his guards and said unhurriedly to He Mulan:

"The open field belongs to the state, starting from Heiseong, and the open field is divided first. If there is open land to be cultivated, good land and production can be obtained, until the person who gets the land dies of old age, and the open field is returned to the country and becomes good land; The hemp field can get cloth, the mulberry field can get silk, the surplus has to sell its surplus, and the insufficient has to buy its insufficient, so that when the disaster year comes, there will not be starvation all over the wilderness......"

He said that the future was so rosy that Hermulan forgot where he was, and listened attentively to his vast plans.

"In addition to the fields, ploughing cattle and seeds must also be distributed, otherwise the miscellaneous and poor households have fields without seeds, and there is no manpower to cultivate, so they can only sigh at the open fields. The cultivation technology of the Southern Dynasty was mature, and I wanted to send envoys and merchants to Liu Song to learn farming, buy books and farm tools about farming, and hire old farmers who were good at farming to come to our Great Wei to promote new farming knowledge......"

Tuobatao's eyes sparkled, and the excitement after drinking was filled with spiritual satisfaction, which made his words have a different kind of charm.

As if attracted by his words, among the guards who were still in a dilemma not far away, some people began to involuntarily take steps towards the young emperor.

One, two, three......

As Tuobatao's tone became more firm and his expression became more and more confident, more and more guards leaned towards him, and his steps became more and more steady.

"My Great Wei is now strong and strong, but I dare not say that there will be no trouble. War needs grain and grass, disaster years need food, food is a qiē, population is a qiē, I want to make the Great Wei Quartet fine, the country is rich and the people are healthy, what needs to rely on is your loyal people, I am now in the prime of life, you are also in the prime of life, I am not afraid as the lord of a country, are you so afraid? ”

He looked around, and saw that seven or eight out of ten of the guards had reunited around him, but some of them still did not show any excited expressions.

Most of these guards are not Xianbei people, but after the local suzerain's overseer, or have something to do with the local suzerain.

The purpose of Tuobatao's temptation has been achieved, and the last words of "fear" are pressed towards these guards like a boulder, and some of them are not calm enough, so they kneel down on the spot, and only dare to whisper "Long live" on the ground.

Some people who didn't want to kneel, and didn't want to express their attitude, saw the guards around them kneel, so they had to kneel down as if they had to.

These unwilling guards have already knelt down, not to mention the hot-blooded men who looked excited before. Under the leadership of He Mulan, the guards outside the camp gate bowed their heads to Tuoba Tao and obeyed his decision.

Bow down in all directions, only Tuoba Tao stands in it, and his spirit is high. At this time, he scolded Fang Xuan, pointed out the country, and was indescribably high-spirited.

I don't know if I think of this scene many years later, everyone present doesn't know what kind of feeling they have.

Is it regret, or is it pride.

There is a kind of power in this world, which is originally beyond the family, the nation, and the mundane.

-- This is an upward faith, a footprint of history, and a trade-off between heaven and humanity.

To be able to serve such a king, Hermulan is honored.

***

He Mulan was working hard for the Lushuihu people in the military camp to eat and drink, and his upright and resolute people even indirectly promoted the determination of the young monarch of the Northern Wei Dynasty to reform, and he was naturally even more unaware.

If he knew Tuoba Tao's determination, he would not regret working so hard for Mulan.

As Gai Wu thought, the former clansmen of the Tiantai Army did not come to Pingcheng so easily. Gai Wu has the help of Gai Tiantai's best friend, so he can enter Pingcheng with his identity in vain, and even bring his former subordinates into a caravan, but his uncles don't have such skills.

will enter Pingcheng in such a short time, and even carry terrifying weapons, and the power they use is from Beiliang.

Tuoba Tao thought that the heavy nu came from Liu Song, and this inference was not false, but it was not Liu Song who instructed Yiqiē, but Bai Xingping of Beiliang.

Beiliang is a regime established by the Lu Shuihu people, and over the years it has naturally funded the Tiantai army, Bai Xingping is a Lu Shuihu person from Xingcheng, and has always acted as the "middleman" between the Beiliang court and the Tiantai army, and is very familiar with the "leader" who introduced Lu Shuihu to the work in the countries.

With the help of his past connections, Bai Xingping easily contacted the subordinates of Gai Wu's two uncles and introduced them to Fuqu Muqian.

If Gai Wu's two treacherous and cunning uncles were here, it would be impossible for Fuqu Muqian to fool this group of Lu Shuihu people into working for money. But Gai Wu's two uncles were invited by Liu Song's nobles and had already crossed the river south with some of their subordinates, so those who stayed in the territory of Wei and Xia were just some insignificant subordinates.

They stayed in the north to collect intelligence, and secondly, to recruit work to feed the clansmen, and the Beiliang behind Fuqu Muqian was also a Lushuihu person, and Fuqu Muqian alluded to the fact that Hua Mulan might stir up the relationship between Beiliang and Northern Wei because of his festival, and these Lushuihu people took this business in order to protect their fellow clans in Beiliang.

The relationship between the envoys of Fuqu Mu Qiantong Guò, managed to arrange ten Lu Shuihu's good hands to enter Pingcheng, Bei Liang and Liu Song were friendly, and this weapon of Chongnu was also gifted, and Fuqu Mu Qian's original dismantling and mixing in his luggage brought a pair into Wei State, for self-protection, and now it is naturally more suitable for these powerful Lu Shuihu people to use as assassination weapons.

He was cunning because he not only took advantage of the Tiantai army, but also did not take the initiative to contact them in order to dissociate himself from them, and only relied on a monk in the mission to connect with them in the temple in Pingcheng.

Bai Xingping has always been opposed to Fuqu Muqian's assassination of Mulan, and he took the initiative to contact the Tiantai army in Xingcheng in order to deal with Helianding, who was about to be annexed. If Helian Ding can be assassinated and let Wei and Helian Ding's men and horses fight each other, then Bei Liang will be able to breathe for a while in the gap between the north and the south.

Helian Ding said that he and Bei Liang had a grudge against killing the son, and Bai Xingping looked for the Tiantai Army to assassinate Helianding, which can be regarded as revenge for the country, which is morally defensible.

Who is Mulan? It's just a young general who has just made a name for himself, no matter how powerful his ability is and how influential he is, he can't match Helianding's role.

What resentment do Mulan and Bei Liang have? Never. And he will also send an envoy to Beiliang, once he fights now, maybe the situation after the entire envoy will change.

But Fuqu Muqian swore that Hua Mulan would definitely become the enemy of Beiliang. Now that most of the famous generals of the Wei State are old, the leaders of the clan cannot let Tuoba Tao trust, and the rapidly rising Hua Mulan has become the best weapon for Tuoba Tao to fight in all directions.

He firmly believes that if he doesn't kill Mulan now, he will only have endless troubles in the future.

If the Tiantai Army was in its heyday, Gai Tiantai might really take over the task of assassinating Helianding. But today, the Taiwanese army has no leader, and the most senior left and right sect elders went to Liu Song again, and the little leader left behind was taken by Helianding's prestige in the Xia Kingdom, and he didn't dare to take over this task of Fuqu Muqian.

No matter how powerful Bai Xingping is, he is also a courtier, and Fuqu Muqian is his superior, Lu Shuihu is unwilling to plot Helianding, but he is willing to remove Hua Mulan for Fuqu Muqian.

Because even if you can get a lot of rewards for killing Helianding, the rewards are life-threatening, and the place where Mulan lives is not protected, and the daily trip back and forth is also very regular, and the assassins like to assassinate such people the most.

Not to mention that they also have a weapon that can kill people from a distance of 300 steps.

But these Lu Shuihu people never expected that they actually found the son of the former leader by Mulan's side, and the son of this leader was still very intimate with Mulan!

The Lu Shuihu people forbade infighting, and a qiē dispute was resolved by competition, these people came out of the Tiantai army, and after Gai Tiantai's death, they abandoned the young master and their own guilt, if they were accidentally injured or implicated in Gai Wu, they would not be able to wash away this shame even if they died.

Therefore, after the first arrow was missed, they did not continue to stab, but immediately left from the back window of the second floor with the disassembled heavy nunnery, thus avoiding the later search of Chen Jie and others.

On the second day, the Lu Shuihu people, who had been staring at He Mulan, found that hundreds of people from their Tiantai army had gathered in He Mulan's mansion early in the morning, and they would not leave He Mulan, looking like they were protectors.

This result made them frightened, and they could only return to the borrowed monastery, willing to return ten times the deposit for the work of frustrated herdsmen, rather than continue any longer.

Lu Shuihu people don't hurt friends. Even if they are of the same race, they are not friends with them. But the people who Gai Wu made good friends with, and even made the men of the Tiantai Army who were most loyal to Gai Tianwang, protect him closely, were definitely friends of Lu Shuihu.

The former contacts of Gai Wu Tong Guò searched all the way, and finally found the Kangning Temple in Guikangli in the center of Pingcheng, and then there was no trace of these clansmen.

The Tiantai army was notoriously strict, and although the people of Gai Wu accepted the commission of Fuqu Muqian, they did not reveal the identity of half of the commissioner to others.

But Lu Shuihu himself had a way of transmitting information, and it was this method that allowed him to find Kangning Temple.

Gai Wu originally thought that when he entered the Kangning Temple, he would be able to find his father's former subordinates, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at the Kangning Temple to report his name, he was respectfully received, but after that, he didn't go well.

"Who are you? Where are my people? ”

Gai Wu, who was "invited" to the meditation room, stared at the monks in the room vigilantly, and couldn't help but shout.

The handsome-faced young monk folded his hands and smiled as he spoke.

"Don't be angry, the poor monk invited you to come because he wanted to talk to you......

"I don't want to talk to you about anything!"

Gai Wu sensed that something was wrong and quickly turned around and wanted to leave.

But no matter how hard he shook the door of the meditation room, he didn't see it open the slightest.

"You! You're still a monk! Doing such a robber's business! ”

Gai Wu drew his twin swords and pointed them at the young monk.

"If you don't open the door again, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Amitabha, the donor is really angry."

The young monk shook his head in annoyance.

"If you're not polite, then I won't be able to treat your friends politely."

As soon as he heard this, Gai Wu was shocked.

"Who the hell are you?"
